This is still unclear for me to understand how sync works, because if it does not suit me, mo way I would be using it.
For example I mostly type on mobile, then when I open my laptop, the app will try to sync between my phone and my laptop, with their server helping establishing the connection? I don’t see how its gonna work well since both has to be online and have good Internet at the same time
No different than syncing to a server. Many video calls are implemented with p2p up to a certain amount of participants. Text is less demanding in comparison. I've not dived into the code yet but p2p relays typically just coordinate what IPs need to connect. In your case, once the connection is established the phone is directly transferring data with your laptop. No server in between.
